GLORIOUS MORNING.
The warm glow OF go den sunshine
filed the sky and air, and bathed 'ht
land as genial as the loveliest day in
June. The birds were all making tn.
spac- sonor,us with glad 30 Us. The
breezes Of the zephyr's gentlest touc
set the leaves of the orang. groves
just atremble, and the golden spheres
like the tabled app e5 Of the tie per
iies, glisten, d like gold amid the
rich waxy sheen Of the foliage.
RICH ANAHEDI.
Far southwark spread the broad,
rich plain embracing vineyards. or
ange groves, rich past ures, orchards
the most fertile and varied in its
resources in the world. Some fifteen
mile. away the Pacific lay pulsating
and cleaning in the golden sunlight,
from his broad breast c, me these
gentle winds loaded to repletion wi b
life-giving ozone, pure, inl igorating,
health-restoring, youth-glvlng, as
would hav been the springs OF eter-
nal youth, had Ponce de Leon
been able to find them.
THE EVERLASTING HILLS.
All around the north side of the
valley the great mountains rose 10
grand heights, and OH their U orld-old
brows they lifted to the skies their
SHOWS of Countless years. The sun
lit up their ridges with such glorious
brightness as the magination pic
tues on The white h-ights of Para
disc. he shadows slept in the VAL
leys as peacefully as Bunvonis pill
grim saw them on the 'tDel.ctable
mountains" in his progress to Heaven.
Indeed q more beautiful prospect
never stretched before the eyes
of man han the landscape which
Law all around the ricn old ''morher
colony on the day in question. No
spot even in this semi tropic 'radise
can boast of any more fascinating pic
ture than was there presented. The
rains had started the grasses. The
orange groves we're washed clean Of
dust, the roads were hard and clean,
the temperature was of that abso-
lutely perfect degree " ich makes
life seem worth living for. Lowell
asks:
"And what so perfect as day in
June" ----.=--
The answer is last Sunday at Ana
helm was as perfect rs any day t at
